Washington Nationals catcher Keibert Ruiz was placed on the 10-day injured list this Tuesday after being hit in the head by a foul ball batted by his teammate Josh Bell.<\/p>\n
According to the Nationals, Ruiz suffered a head contusion.<\/p>\n
Faced with this situation, the team called up Drew Millas from Triple-A Rochester. Millas, in 52 games, batted .247 with four home runs and 25 RBIs.<\/p>\n
The ball hit Ruiz after a rebound. The catcher held his head with both hands and immediately left the dugout, being replaced by Riley Adams.<\/p>\n
Ruiz underwent a CT scan after his team’s 10-6 victory.<\/p>\n
Bell, in that same inning, hit a sacrifice fly as part of a four-run fourth episode.<\/p>\n
This incident marks the second time in five days that a Major League player has been injured in the dugout by a foul ball.<\/p>\n
Rays pitcher Hunter Bigge was removed from the field in a concerning scene and transported to a hospital after being hit in the face by a line drive connected by Baltimore catcher Adley Rutschman the previous Thursday.<\/p>\n
Bigge was placed on a board and gave the okay before being transported by ambulance to a nearby hospital for tests. According to Rays manager Kevin Cash, he never lost consciousness and was able to converse with the paramedics.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
